The pads you are using are correct for the Fiorano brake calipers, however the Fiorano pads are harder than the standard Brembo pads. This might well be contributing to the squeal - I would take the de-glazing route in the first instant.

Hi Malcolm - The car was fitted with Fiorano Red Calipers and pads F70000910 front and F70000882 rear. I assume that these are Standard Pads ( Yellow Edge )? regards

Strange it's usually the front brakes that squeak, anyway remove the wheels and assuming that the pads and rotors are in good condition you will probably find that the pads / rotors are glazed. Clean them with an abrasive paper, making sure that you use a flat surface for the pads, refit the pads using a heat resistant grease on the rear of the pads. Sometimes it helps to put a small shamfer on the leading edge of the pads, but this is generally used on the front pads only - are use using standard pads?

My 355 has developed a very iritating rear squeek at low speeds. Lightly touching the brake peddle stops it until you release. It seems to be worse when slowly going around a corner. Does this sound familiar to anyone ? |
